When I was a little girl, my grandma use to take care. Our schedule was simple. I’d come over before my mom went to work, we’d get a bowl of corn flakes (extra sugar), and turn on Sesame Street at 11am on PBS23. I was so amazed by all the colors and characters that I didn’t even realize that I had an extensive vocabulary for a child that hadn’t been to school yet. Cornflakes and Sesame became our thing. Eventually, Sesame Street started coming on twice a day and I started attending daycare. Our cornflakes and sesame street routine would come to an end, but I wouldn’t learn the importance of it until I grew a little older. When I was in the sixth grade, my grandma was diagnosed was Alzheimer’s. It was a quick change and she went from knowing …show more content…

These are all things I learned from Sesame Street and my grandmother and I want to be a part of ensuring that the next generation gets to enjoy these school and life lessons with their grandmas or whoever else they get to enjoy the wonders of 123 Sesame …show more content…

For US Social Impact, I think I offer a lot of perspectives and will be able to properly examine the impact and present ways to increase the impact within the country. Public Relations is all about image. When I think of Sesame Street, I think of representation. If selected as the Public Relations intern, I’ll make it my greatest to put representation on the forefront in any publicity project I work on. Lastly, for Media and Publishing, I think it’s the category I have the most experience in it. I have work extensively trying to gain knowledge of the media industry. So, I am choosing this department to further knowledge in children’s

    As a child, most people do not realize that what they are watching on television is shaping the way that they think and learn. Even as an adult, it is easy to dismiss the true impact of television on education, whether it is, in fact, educational or not. Jim Henson was not one of those to so easily dismiss the chance to use television to educate children. Jim Henson said it best himself, “Television is basically teaching whether you want it or not.” As Creator of the well beloved characters of Sesame Street, The Muppets, Henson has touched the lives of millions of children worldwide. Sesame Street continues to be the longest running program aimed at the education of young children, so it stands to reason that Jim Henson’s impact on children’s educational television will continue to be felt for many generations to come.

    “In the late 1960s, a television producer named Joan Ganz Cooney set out to start an epidemic. Her targets were three-, four-, and five-year-olds. Her agent of infection was television, and the “virus” she wanted to spread was literacy” (Gladwell 89). The Tipping Point is a book on the study of epidemics- including mental epidemics and trends. Sesame Street, still one of the most iconic shows to date, is an epidemic; the splurge of knowledge that appeared in children after it began to air is undeniable. The show started production in New York in 1968. Shows for children such as Sesame Street support children in school and throughout life by teaching them memorable lessons from helpful muppets. Nevertheless, how and

    Internships completed by students in certain degree programs are quite popular in most colleges and universities. An internship is used so classroom based learning in a degree program can be applied to practical situations in the real world (Jordan, Burns, Bedard & Barringer, 2007). When students are placed with an agency, there is a real possibility that a portion of students will witness actions they believe is unethical or illegal. During a study conducted within four universities, many students that participated in an internship program within the criminal justice system reported that they had observed behavior they suspected to be illegal behavior for a law enforcement agency. (Jordan et al. 2007). Due to this ongoing problem, colleges

  • My Experience At The Internship

    Before the internship, I thought judges were of course humans, but I was hoping they were nice. I thought it was going to be a bit intimidating, but I knew I looked up and aspired their profession. It was like the day I was going to meet my judge I was so nervous, yet I looked forward to it. I remember I was surprised different Judges would run their courtrooms differently. I thought they would kind of have a similar system for things, which they sort of do, but not completely. Generally speaking, the Judges are great individuals and are very unique. Most of the Judges have lived pretty interesting lives and seem to enjoy their jobs. The Judges seem to be very knowledgeable, and very considerate of the Jury, court reporters, and their clerks. The judges of course seem neutral when in front of the jury as expected. For example, Judge Lippitt, does not allow anytime to speak over each other in her court room she is always saying that they have to be respectful there is a human being recording this, referring to the court reporter. Then, she is very considerate of the Jury and their time, she will tell them the trial is longer at times to make them happy if it ends early. Further, Judge Lippitt really cares about the jury instructions and that they are as neutral as possible. Something I have learned from Judge Lippitt, is that you have to be very careful as a judge to notice when attorney’s are acting a little suspicious. Another very significant lesson I have learned from Judge Lippitt is that preparedness and awareness is really important.
